The Crystal-Structures of (±)-(E)-2-(1-Amino-Ethylidene)-4,4,6-Trimethylcyclohexane-1,3-Dione [(±)-Aminoangustione] and (E)-2-(1-Aminoethylidene)-4,6,6-Trimethylcyclohex-4-Ene-1,3-Dione (Aminodehydroangustione)

Abstract

The crystal structures of (±)-(E)-2-(1-aminoethylidene)-4,4,6- trimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione [(±)- aminoangustione ] (8) and (E)-2-(1- aminoethylidene )-4,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-4-ene-1,3-dione ( aminodehydroangustione ) (9) have been determined by X-ray diffraction. Diffractometer data at 295 K were refined by full-matrix least-squares to residuals of 0.057 (712 'observed' reflections) for (8) and 0.061 (571) for (9). Crystals of (8) are tetragonal I 4₁/a, a 21.68(1), c 9.426(6)Ǻ, Z 16; crystals of (9) are orthorhombic Pmab , a 7.077(2), b 11.421(6), c 13.283(4)Ǻ, Z 4.
